    I sold the truck and RV (package deal) a couple of months ago and it's been up to Couer d'Alene, Idaho and back down to Ariz. since then.....it was two years ago this month that I bought those tires. They still looked good when I sold the truck and RV.

    However, I have noticed that all the trucks (Ford, Chevy, Ram) pulling the really heavy 5th wheels and actually traveling all over the country have the outside edges of the front tires wear. I've started looking at them at the Grand Design rallies......it's not just the Fords. I had the front tires flipped on the rims just before I sold it.....so should be good for another 20k miles.
    SOLD my 2017 Momentum 376TH being pulled by a 2014 Ford F-350 Lariat, FX-4, Crew Cab, Longbed, Dually. Not pulling the 5er, catch me on my 2013 CVO Harley Ultra Classic.

    Map = states that we've stayed at least one night in our RV.

    Jim (interstingly, I have other friends named Jim & Sharon that are Grand Design owners) the shorter answer is.....if I were still driving that dually I would buy the same tires again!

    Thanks for the info! I guess they are phasing out the Defender so going with LTX/AT2. They came with my brothers 2019 F350 and he is happy so far.

    Michelin defenders on the truck, alwYs. Think this is the second or third set and rotate religiously and the k pressure frequently. Almost all driving is towing and get areound 56000 per set. Never a failure and just a slow leak from a big fringing nail in Santa de>. Can't complain.

    That's interesting. I am seeing that on my Sierra 3500 DRW as well. I thought it was just mine and an alignment was in order. I tow a 20K GVW Solitude and estimate my towing mileage is about 30-40% of the total on the truck.

    somewhere in here is my comment about micheelines. They are on my truck and Honda and i keep buying them I rotate religiously, align every year and watch pressure. On the truck the outer edge of the fronts seem to wear more rapidly. I adjust tire pressure, etc and it does not make a difference. Threads on this page also report the same thing. I do still get 56-60,000 miles per set with no problems, what can i say. I keep buying them...
